The annual precipitation amounts in a certain mountain range are normally distributed with a mean of 104 inches, and a standard

dsp73

Answer:

91.92% probability that the mean annual precipitation during 49 randomly picked years will be less than 106.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 104, \sigma = 14, n = 49, s = \frac{14}{\sqrt{49}} = 2$

What is the probability that the mean annual precipitation during 49 randomly picked years will be less than 106.8 inches

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 106.8. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{106.8 - 104}{2}$

$Z = 1.4$

$Z = 1.4$ has a pvalue of 0.9192

0.9192 = 91.92% probability that the mean annual precipitation during 49 randomly picked years will be less than 106.8 inches

For the following amount at the given interest rate compounded continuously, find (a) the future value after 9 years, (b) the

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

(a) The future value after 9 years is $7142.49.

(b) The effective rate is $r_E=4.759 \:{\%}$ .

(c) The time to reach $13,000 is 21.88 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of Continuous Compounding is

If a deposit of $P$ dollars is invested at a rate of interest $r$ compounded continuously for $t$ years, the compound amount is

$A=Pe^{rt}$

(a) From the information given

$P=4700$

$r=4.65\%=\frac{4.65}{100} =0.0465$

$t=9 \:years$

Applying the above formula we get that

$A=4700e^{0.0465\cdot 9}\\A=7142.49$

The future value after 9 years is $7142.49.

(b) The effective rate is given by

$r_E=e^r-1$

Therefore,

$r_E=e^{0.0465}-1=0.04759\\r_E=4.759 \:{\%}$

(c) To find the time to reach $13,000, we must solve the equation

$13000=4700e^{0.0465\cdot t}$

$4700e^{0.0465t}=13000\\\\\frac{4700e^{0.0465t}}{4700}=\frac{13000}{4700}\\\\e^{0.0465t}=\frac{130}{47}\\\\\ln \left(e^{0.0465t}\right)=\ln \left(\frac{130}{47}\right)\\\\0.0465t\ln \left(e\right)=\ln \left(\frac{130}{47}\right)\\\\0.0465t=\ln \left(\frac{130}{47}\right)\\\\t=\frac{\ln \left(\frac{130}{47}\right)}{0.0465}\approx21.88$

Volgvan

Answer:

1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

4.4 - 2.8 = 1.6

6 - 4.4 = 1.6

So you're initial equation is $(2/6)*24=m$ . Well since $2/6=1/3$ , plug in 24 for the 1 in $1/3$ . So $24/3=m$ , and $24/3=8$ so $m=8$ .
